What to do if you are allergic to alcohol

The symptoms of alcohol allergy are itching on the back with red dots, accompanied by fever, or the body is covered with red spots and itches unbearably. The reason for alcohol allergy is that these people are allergic. Alcohol is an allergen. Contact with allergens can cause allergies.

Other common clinical manifestations of alcohol allergy are skin symptoms, respiratory symptoms and digestive tract symptoms. Such as skin itching, eczema, urticaria, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even a few people may experience anaphylactic shock. According to the latest research methods, when an allergic reaction occurs in the body, it will affect the heart, leading to dilation of blood vessels, accelerated heartbeat, lowered blood pressure, and increased burden on the heart. The prominent symptom is arrhythmia.

Alcohol allergy symptoms usually appear within about 30 minutes of drinking alcohol. The symptoms of alcohol allergy include flushing of the skin on the face and neck, congestion of the conjunctival membranes of the eyes, and accelerated heart rate. Sometimes a rash may appear and lead to acute respiratory symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing attacks, or severe asthma attacks. Experts once surveyed 53 patients with bronchial asthma, and 30 of them reported asthma attacks after drinking alcohol. This rate is quite high. At the same time, it was found that when asthma patients drink strong alcohol, it can cause the patient to become ill immediately; when drinking low-alcohol alcohol, asthma patients also experience a significant increase in respiratory resistance. This is caused by the smell of alcohol stimulating the receptors on the surface of the trachea or bronchus, which causes the bronchial smooth muscle to contract through the vagus nerve reflex. In addition, heavy drinking can not only cause an allergic reaction of antibodies and lead to asthma attacks, but also suppress the central nervous system and prompt the body to release an endogenous opioid, causing severe bronchospasm, shallow and slow breathing, and even death. There is also vomiting after being drunk. Due to the inhalation of strong acidic substances in the stomach into the trachea, fatal asthma attacks may occur. Whenever an asthma attack occurs, patients always feel dry mouth, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, abdominal distension, sweating, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, due to strong contraction of respiratory muscles, increased airway mucus secretion, and ventilatory dysfunction, the body is hypoxic. The patient's shoulders are hunched, walking is difficult, the heart is heavy, and the mood is irritable, which is very painful. People with a history of alcohol allergy or asthma should avoid alcohol, including alcoholic beverages and alcohol-containing drugs.

Honey water treats alcohol headaches: Honey contains a special kind of fructose, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and reduce headache symptoms, especially headaches caused by red wine. In addition, honey also has a hypnotic effect, which can make people fall asleep quickly and prevent them from having a headache after getting up the next day. Tomato juice cures dizziness after drinking. Tomato juice is also rich in special fructose, which can help promote the decomposition of alcohol. Drinking more than 300 ml at a time can gradually make the dizziness after drinking disappear. If you add a small amount of salt before drinking, it can also help stabilize your mood.

Fresh grapes treat nausea and vomiting after drinking. If eaten before drinking, it can also effectively prevent drunkenness.

Watermelon juice can cure body fever after drinking. Watermelon can clear away heat and relieve internal heat, and can speed up the excretion of alcohol from urine.

Yoghurt cures irritability after drinking. Yogurt can protect the gastric mucosa and delay alcohol absorption. It is rich in calcium and is especially effective in relieving irritability after drinking. Banana treats palpitations and chest tightness after drinking. Eating 1-3 bananas after drinking can increase blood sugar concentration, reduce the proportion of alcohol in the blood, and achieve the purpose of hangover. At the same time, it can also reduce symptoms of heart palpitations and eliminate chest depression.

Taking medicine is currently the most commonly used method in allergy treatment. Antihistamines and hormones are commonly used to treat allergies. These drugs can generally quickly relieve allergic symptoms, even resolve concurrent inflammation, and improve vascular permeability. However, the disadvantage of taking drugs is that they cannot completely solve the allergy problem. If you encounter allergen stimulation, allergic diseases will continue to occur. Drugs may also cause various side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, obesity, infection, and even cause liver and kidney damage.
